Aetna Advantage™ Dental Coverage

Aetna Advantage™ Dental Coverage gives students the ability to select
a primary care dentist (PCD) from the large Aetna Network. The
participating dentists are conveniently located within the tri-state
area and some offer weekend office hours. This plan provides a wide
range of service options including preventative and diagnostic care
following a $5 per visit copay.
